android-edittext

I create EditText boxes dynamically, depending on what is pulled back from the database. Ie. final EditText textV = new EditText(this); textV.setText(monEntry); Is there anyway to set some of the text in the EditText to one colour and another bit to another without using a subString()? Thanks alot if anybody can help! Yes, you can have different colors in different places of the text if you are using SpannableString. Example: SpannableString text = new SpannableString("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"); final EditText textV = new EditText(this); // make "Lorem" (characters 0 to 5) red textV.setSpan

When a user enters information in an EditText, and moves to the next EditText, the information is highlighted as shown below: The code for this: edittext.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() { @Override public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) { if (hasFocus) { v.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE); ((EditText) v).setTextColor(Color.BLACK); } else { //v.setBackgroundColor(Color.LTGRAY); //also works like this ((EditText) v).setBackgroundColor(Color.LTGRAY); ((EditText) v).setTextColor(Color.BLACK); } } }); Which is called in the onCreate method like this: edittext =

As default, an Android EditText will break a line if the line is longer than the view, like this: Thisisalineanditisveryverylongs (end of view) othisisanotherline or if the line contains a punctuation character, like this: Thisisalineanditsnotsolong; (several characters from the end of view) butthisisanotherline As a requirement of my work, the text has to break a line only if the line is longer than the view, like this: Thisisalineanditsnotsolong;andt (end of view) hisisanotherline There must be a way to achieve this, am I right?

I am a newbie to android development. I am trying to create a List which has a spinner, a edit text and a check box. The data for spinner and check box come from data base.

Problem I have a very simple activity with two tabs, and I'm trying to handle keyboard input in a custom view. This works great... until I swap tabs. Once I swap tabs, I can never get the events to capture again. In another application, opening a Dialog and then closing it, however, would allow my key events to go through. Without doing that I've found no way of getting my key events again. What's the issue here? I can't find any way to get key events once I swap tabs, and am curious what's eating them. This example is pretty short and to the point. Code main.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding=

Android recently added the support for resizing TextViews text size based on the view size and the min and max text size. https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/look-and-feel/autosizing-textview.html Unfortunately, they don't support EditTexts, so Is there any other alternatives for EditText? I was stuck as you, how EditText is child of TextView but don't support autosize ¿?¿? I have achieve this with some kind of hack. First I saw the TextView code to copy and implement as extension (in Kotlin) on EditTextView, but.. there is a bulk of methods, so endly I discard that option. What I
